He is one of the great names in contemporary cinema. Over more than thirty years, he directed nine feature films and several medium-length films and collaborative projects. At 22, he shot his debut feature, Family Nest, a socially conscious film, somewhere between fiction and documentary, made without a budget and with non-professional actors. He later gained admission to the School of Theatre and Film and, from there, developed a filmography that includes major works such as Sátántangó, Werckmeister Harmonies, and The Turin Horse. In 2025, he was in Barcelona to receive the D’A Honorary Award.
